Snow in Europe: travel chaos in France and Germany

Travellers in Paris and Frankfurt slept at airports after snow and ice caused
travel chaos in France and Germany. A combination of snow, rain and
temperatures hovering around the freezing point caused traffic chaos in
Germany, with hundreds of accidents reported across the country and scores
of miles-long traffic jams. Icy roads left much of the Paris region
paralysed after the heaviest snowfall in almost 25 years.
